PCIe Card Carrier

The PCIe card carrier enables an administrator or technician to insert or remove the PCIe cards from the rear of the cell. Typically, a PCIe card plugs into a motherboard vertically. Vertical insertion requires access to the cards from the top of the cell. In a rack environment, this access requires rails in order to pull the cell forward, longer cables, and additional cable management.

The PCIe carrier turns the PCIe card connection 90 degrees. This configuration enables the administrator or technician to insert and remove the carrier while holding it horizontally. The technician or administrator places the PCIe card in the PCIe carrier and plugs the card and carrier into a connector on the I/O riser board from the rear of a cell. This configuration eliminates the need to access the cell from the top.
